Super cute collection of very kid-friendly recipes! The presentation is the big seller here - foods made into bugs, monsters, islands and much more. These could be a great way to get the super picky eater to try foods they otherwise wouldn't and kids could get involved in making foods which often increases their desire to try new foods. Many recipes can be made vegetarian or vegan with some simple substitutions, though if you're looking specifically for veg-friendly recipes, this isn't likely the best collection as many call for ground turkey, eggs, etc. Recipes come together quickly due to the use of some pre-made items such as pizza dough, canned beans and frozen waffles and the use of simple ingredients. Recipes include meals, snacks, drinks and sweet treats. This would be a cute gift for the new parent.

This book is so beautiful. I loved the creative recipes for kids. My son who is not a veggie lover felt hungry seeing all the creative vegetable recipes.
They look yummy. Beautiful photos and creativity with the food.

Bean Sprouts Kitchen is such a fun cookbook for families. The pictures are beautiful and the recipes sound amazing. Each recipe is easy follow, and many use ingredients or leftovers from other recipes. Making healthy food should be fun for kids, it doesn't always have to look like plain veggies on a section of their divided plate. I enjoy making creative lunches for my children, this book is a perfect addition to our kids cookbook library. My kids cannot wait to try the Mac and Cheetah recipe!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I am sad, after reading this book, that I can't patronize the restaurant Bean Sprouts kitchen daily. It looks like so much fun. I have a picky three-year-old and as so many moms out there I tear my hair out trying to come up with creative ways to get her to eat her dinner. Many pinter-fails later, I am still at a loss. This book is a godsend for a mom like me.
The recipe book includes 60 recipes from their restaurant menu that have been thoroughly tested by 1000's of kids from their 15 locations in the United States. The philosophy of their restaurant is to "Spark children's appetites with yummy, good-for-you food; and delight grown-ups with a happier mealtime." They have achieved that! I am an adult and I am interested in making mealtime more fun for myself, let alone my child after reading this. Who doesn't want a quesadilla shaped like a rocket ship?!
A fantastic gift for a parent and/or grandparent who wants more fun and an easier time at meals with their kid. Highest possible recommendation!

I received a digital copy of this book via NetGalley and Quarto Publishing-Fair Winds Press and decided to leave an honest review.
This very colourfully illustrated and chock full of very inventive kid friendly recipes is a must read for any parent that have children that need exciting and inventive ways to encourage kids to eat healthy and nutritious vegetable and fruit meals that look like animals and insects etc.... I just wish I was a kid so I could enjoy eating some of the wonderful meals. I highly recommend this book

The book looks cute and really creative. the instructions are kid level easy, but I don't think my kid will eat it. Sure, they have googly eyes, or cute tentacles, but this is not enough for a serve, and it is too time consuming to make a larger amount.
Totally good idea, but some are border lining on impractical for a time poor parent.

I was sent a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Maybe it's just me, but... there are so many things in this book that I would not eat based on the look. And I am not a kid and I really like veggies. But maybe they will be appetizing for kids?
the recipes are quite creative indeed, but some just reminded me of those vintage food pictures and I did not feel like cooking any of them. I feel guilty for saying this, but I would not use this cookbook :(.
